Nios II IDE 8.0 SP1 hangs?

[Altera_Forum]

Just upgraded to SP1, and now when I try to debug, I end up with Nios II IDE hanging at "launching: (60%)" 

 Is there a bug in the service pack? Anything I should try before I uninstall/reinstall the IDE?    The project was imported to the new IDE from 8.0, where it compiled and ran just fine.  Thanks, Mickey

Well, I gave up trying to debug this, and re-loaded Nios II Ide SP1, then I began a fresh workspace and imported the projects into it again. 

 It works now, but I'm not sure what fixed the problem.  --Mickey

Hi, 

 I have the same problem, but with the Nios IDE 9.0. If I press "debug as" but at 60% of the progress bar the NIOS IDE hangs up.   If someone has a solution for this, it would be nice to post it here.   Thanks

I'm not sure if this is the problem. But I've noticed in some of the recent versions of the IDE, that it will appear to hang. Every time that it has happened to me, if I look down in the bottom right hand corner of the IDE, I notice that the indexer is running dog slow and blocking everything else from running at the same time. See if it's the same for you. I don't know what is causing the indexer to run so slow but you can change the indexing options so that it doesn't run.

Setup a new workspace folder and chnage the workspace to this folder. Import your application again. This solved the problem.

Hi, 

 i'm working under Cent OS 5 with Nios2 IDE 8  Same Problem to me under Nios2 8.1 and 9.0.  When switching to Debug Mode and Lauching the Project it hangs at 60% for several(!!!) Minutes and than starts. During waiting process, it is not possible to cancle. It looks like something is waiting but i could not figure out for what. Under Nios IDE 7.1, Debugging was quite fast.  The mentioned solution to create a new Workspace did not help for me. I created a clean Workspace and tried Hello World Example of Altera to debug. Still the same problem.  Switching off the Indexer did also not helped. Still the problem remained.  Under Windows, this Problem does not exists AFAK for Nios 9.0  Is there any solution for that or know reason for that behaviour?  Is there any way to find out the reasons of delaying? Is there anyone, that does not have that problems running Nios >=8 under Linux?  Cheers

I am also having this problem and creating a new workspace does not solve the problem. When I try to debug a project, it freezes for a few minutes and then eclipse throws an out of memory error. 

 I've even cleared all the dot files along with creating a new workspace and it still hangs.  I've attached my Eclipse .log file.

We have investigated this problem under Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (64-bit version). 

 Cause: When launching the debugger, Nios II IDE will search for source code in a number of locations, traversing all sub-folders of those locations. For some reason, the list of locations will include the user's home folder. If you have a lot of stuff there, you will have to wait. And wait...  Workaround: After killing and re-starting the Nios II IDE, do the following. From the Run menu, select "Debug...". In the left-hand pane, highlight the project you want to debug. The Nios II ISS configuration for your project should be shown. Click the Source tab, highlight your home folder, and click Remove. Now click Apply, then Debug.  Disclaimer: We found the workaround today. There may be other fixes or workarounds.  Credits: I'm a teacher at KTH and worked with technical staff at CSC, KTH, to find and fix this problem.

I've tried  

-- using the altera usb-blaster & the terasic usb-blaster with both the 8.0, 8.1, 11.1sp1 drivers -- creating new workspace  -- restore default source paths (although didn't have any home directory info anyways)  and nothing works.. it hangs at 60% at which point I have to kill the javaw.exe process.  Anyone find something that works?
